If there is one thing that can completely spoil any outdoor workouts – apart from the headwind and forgetting your running watch, of course – it's having to switch between apps because you need to skip a song, especially if you're in the zone. Strava users won't have to worry about this anymore as the popular social media platform launched a 'first-of-its-kind' integration with Spotify, enabling users to seamlessly stream music, podcasts and audiobooks while recording activities on Strava.
Starting today, you can play, pause, resume, skip and browse Spotify content from the record screen on Strava. This new integration removes the need for Spotify Free and Premium users to switch between apps and allows them to "easily tap into the motivation that gets them moving," the brands explain. We might have to add 'not setting up Spotify integrations' to our 'mistakes everyone makes with Strava' roundup!
